  1. Tissue advice needed.

    SFChef replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reading your post made me so glad that I am done with anatomy...the tissues are the worst!!! Especially in the beginning, because they really do look alike. As you go through the course, you will...

  2. Chemistry & Anatomy help :\

    SFChef replied to zariyan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, let me see if I can help you with this. The subatomic particles in an atom are protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom, and the electrons are...

  3. Chemistry Fall 2008

    SFChef replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Polka Dot, you will do fine! Just a warning, bio chem is also a little different than o-chem (but not as drastically different than general chem), so you will have to switch gears again when you...

  4. Chemistry Fall 2008

    SFChef replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    O-chem and biochem are completely different than general chemistry! For o-chem, it might help you to use a 3D model set...that can help to understand the shapes. Personally, I really liked both...

  5. Chemistry question

    SFChef replied to Deadbob's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that it depends what schools you are considering. Some schools only care that you have a semester of chemistry, but other schools want specific courses. It would be best if you contacted the...

  6. Chemistry question

    SFChef replied to Deadbob's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There might be one or two labs that would not be good for her. In our class, there was only one night that we worked with something like that and the instructor made sure to say that if you were...

  7. Admissions Statistics for Competitive Programs

    SFChef replied to Hopkins_undergrad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Columbia does not have an ABSN program...they have an ETP (entry to practice) program and you earn a BS in Nursing in the first year. However, they still consider their program a graduate program and...

  8. Anybody buy a skeleton for A&P?

    SFChef replied to MemphisTiger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought a skeleton for A&P, and I felt like it really helped a lot. His official name is "Sam the Skeleton" and I got him on eBay for around $200. I know, it's a lot of money. But for me, it...

  9. Does any one know where to take Pathopysiology??

    SFChef replied to Ngk0613's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking it online right now through UCLA Extension...cost was about $515 if I remember correctly. Check out their website and search for pathophysiology because I think they just posted their...

  10. January entry for accelerated programs

    SFChef replied to 422jdb's topic in General Nursing

    NYU also has a January start

  11. January entry for accelerated programs

    SFChef replied to 422jdb's topic in General Nursing

    Samuel Merritt College in Oakland also has a January start (although I think it is their Sacramento campus location that starts in January). And I'm pretty sure that Georgetown has a winter start in...

  12. "oh. . .You're going to a COMMUNITY college?"

    SFChef replied to Toodee's topic in California Nursing

    Do not let those people make you feel bad...they will not be paying your loans after you graduate, so they don't have a say. On another note, I live in Northern California, but my mom lives in...

  13. Columbia University ETP 2008

    SFChef replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank your for your feedback. Columbia is top on my list, and it's great to hear when people have a good experience. Often times we only hear from those who are unhappy. Just out of curiosity, what...

  14. Applying to Accelerated Program Dilemma

    SFChef replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree with Asherah, she gave great advice. I just want to add that Micro is do-able with either chem or o-chem, but it would be very difficult to take o-chem at the same time as general...

  15. Help me from getting discouraged- need advice from bay area nurses/students

    SFChef replied to kaya767's topic in California Nursing

    Oh, and just to second the great advice that CrazyFrames gave you...it can be difficult to get into classes at some of these CC's. Personally, I think at CCSF it is nearly impossible to get science...

  16. Help me from getting discouraged- need advice from bay area nurses/students

    SFChef replied to kaya767's topic in California Nursing

    Savory Spice, Please don't let one bad guidance counselor discourage you! I also live in the Bay Area. I am 41, have a BS in Economics and am a Pastry Chef instructor and curriculum developer for...

  17. Columbia University ETP 2008

    SFChef replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You are being so helpful...thank you!!! Does Columbia help you find your integration

  18. Columbia University ETP 2008

    SFChef replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks! Now I have two questions for you. First, why are Columbia ETP grads viewed so poorly in the NYC hospitals? Second, what is integration? And how difficult is it to get a job when you finish...

  19. Columbia University ETP 2008

    SFChef replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, I hate to hear that the ETP portion doesn't really matter...I am applying to ETP Anesthesia. I know, it's a long shot... My other option is get an ABSN at Hopkins (by all accounts, a great...

  20. Columbia University ETP 2008

    SFChef replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cozzy66, Thanks for that very helpful post about your experience at Columbia. Are you going back in a year for the Master's portion? What was your specialty? Thanks! I am applying to Columbia and...

  21. Tylenol an NSAID?

    SFChef replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct and the doc is wrong--Tylenol is NOT an NSAID. I just finished my pharmacology class. Happy to know that I learned

  22. HELP! trying to find Fall '08 Science in No. CA

    SFChef replied to NewCaliGal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in San Francisco, and all of the science classes fill up quickly. However, I haven't seen a teacher turn down students who want to add. Now, they may not be able to add you on the first day, but...

  23. Anatomy Fall '08...what to expect?

    SFChef replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy is a lot of work, but I didn't think it was necessarily hard. I just finished the class and got a high A, so I'll give you my advice about what I think is helpful. First, learn your...

  24. searching for pathophysiology / pharmacology open online class

    SFChef replied to suebee1234's topic in General Students

    Yep, here is the link. http://www.uclaextension.edu/ I checked online, and the class is full now, but you can add yourself to the wait list. If the page doesn't take you to pathophys, then just type...

  25. searching for pathophysiology / pharmacology open online class

    SFChef replied to suebee1234's topic in General Students

    UCLA extension probably still has room in their online pathophysiology class. It starts in June and ends mid-September. Cost is around
